We have been in some pretty hot areas lately and we have been thinking of ways to take the pressure off of our air conditioner as well as the generator. With the amount of solar, we have on the truck, we have gotten used to the quiet of not having the generator running.
When we had the solar installed the suggestion was made to paint the top of the sleeper white to help with cooling. Many RV’s have this done and finally, Bob had the time to work on this project. What I found interesting is that when he first tried to mask off everything he did not want to be painted he tried in the afternoon and the roof of the sleeper was so hot he could not do it. He waiting till early the next morning and the roof was cool to do the masking. He had to apply the paint with a roller. When it was time to put on the second coat he had no problem being on the roof of the truck in the afternoon.
